Now we will prepare a map using dot method. Carry out the following activity.

• See the map of Nandurbar given in fig. carefully. Draw it on another paper or tracing paper along with its taluka and district boundaries.
• Now see the population table given along the map. On the basis of the statistical data, decide the value of the dots considering the highest and the lowest values of population. For example, 1 dot = 10000 people, so you can decide how many dots to be given to each sub-administrative unit.

• While placing the dots, consider the physiography, water sources, roads, rails, taluka and district headquarters as shown in the map in fig
